Malthoid
Roofing
Mr. H. B. Eakins, of the Commercial Warehouse Co., Los An
geles, Cal., U. S. A., writes: "Now that we have had two good
rains to test our Malthoid roof, we have desire to express our satis
faction in the knowledge that wo have a covering over our head
that does not leak. We write you regarding our pleasure in this
matter from the fact that we had fully expected more or less
trouble, as we did not believe it possible that so large a roof surface
could be covered with any material and stand the test of a first
rain, but there was not a leak due to defective roofing."

Two Good Policies
to have is one upon your Life and
the other upon your Property. You
are then protected In a double sense,,
and your family is also protected in
case anything should happen to you,
or the house burn down by accident.
The cost of either Fire or Life Insur
anco is infinitesimal in comparison
with Its great blessings and the actu
al, substantial protection it affords
to both you ana your posterity.

REASONABLE CURIOSITY.
From our private Information
And our Interest to show .
When a candidate- Is running
Wo are very keen to know
What he had for breakfast.
How much his necktlo cost.
If his homo Is mortgagod.
If 1 o pouts when crossed, A
How ho mado his money, "
If ho owns a cat. $ -
Where ho goes In swimming
And such things as that.
Not from prying dispositions
Nor to plcaso a gossip's whim.
But becauso wo tako an Interest
We would like to know of htm:
Does ho dote on pancakes?
Was ho r.i!seJ u pet?
Does ho play the races
Or on prize fights bett -
Did ho as a schoolboy
Ever have a rcrap?
Does ho In the morning
Tako a beauty nap?
'Tls the penalty of mKlntf
In the presidential strife
That his fellow men tako Interest
In the details of his Itfo.
Does ho bite his pencil
When he writes a note?
Does he spoil his ballot
When ho goes to vote?
Why ho has appointments
Ordered thus and so.
All the petty details
We would like to know.
Feeling Their Way.
"Of coursoijou wouldn't sell your
vote for anything."
"I certainly wouldn't."
"But if you wero to sell 'it how much
would you take?"
"If I wero to sell It how much would
you give?"
Only Way Ho Knew.
"Where did you get that umbrella?'
"Bought It" '
"Bought It?"
"Yes. Do I look liko a captain of In
dustry?"
Delicate inquiry.
"My dear, I understand we are dolns
light housekeeping."
"Yes; that is whnt they call It."
"Don't you think wo ought to have
everything elso to match with the gen
eral scheme of that manner of llTlng?"
"But It does. Two rooms and a small
stove, you know, are whnt make It"
"That is from the material side. I
was speaking of the artistic"
"Please explain the riddle."
"I do not want to Interfere with youi
arrangements, my dear, or appear n
one who would butt In, but really do
heavy biscuits match light housekeep
lng?"
Changed Color.
"Ho wont out to pulut tho town."
"I suppose ho made It appear to b
a bright carmlue."
"For awhile, but nfter he blew him
self for all ho had, things looked blue."
Stung.
"I suppose my unconventionftllty
shocks you?"
"Quito the contrary, I assure you."
"Indeed."
"Yes, you simply amuse me."
Juit FUnlng.
"He never was on the bench."
"I am well aware of that.
"Then why do you call him Judgo?"
"I haven't completely despaired of
getting him to buy tho drinks."
Evident.
"I never, never try to flirt"
"Oh. I see."
"What do you see?"
"That it is entirely involuntary."
Women of China arev said to be
keenly anxious to have a voice In
public affairs, and a movement la
afoot among tho daughters of tho
Orient to establish themselves on a
level with men as far as social and

Gctfli Fee of BOc For Telling An-

MERIDEN, Conn., Dec. 18. That
Frank H. Barton of Durham, ha
been reaping a harvest by advertis
ing to reveal for fifty cents a method
of "getting rich quick" became
known today through an Investiga
tion made by the postofilco Inspect
ors. His answer was "work lurl."
Barton advertised also to mail
twenty-flvo cents. They received
twenty-five pins. Barton had lo jiro
help to assist htm In opening his

tracted the notice of the postal au
thorities. It is said he has violated

CHERRY BANISHED
FROM COCKTAIL
Edict Sent Forth By Men Who Mix
Drinks in New York. ,
NEW YORK, Dec. 17. Through
somo mysterious mental line of
communication that passes between
intellectual bartenders, tho doom of
the cherry in the cocktail has been
sounded. Likewise Is sounded the
doom of the ollyo In tho cocktail.
None but "hick" wine clerks drop
cherries or olives Into cocktails now,
unless, some rubo asks for thorn,
Tho practice of putting a slice of
lemon In a Scotch highball was dis
continued somo time ago. Expert
drink mixers -no longer squeeze a
piece of lemon peal over tho top of
a cocktail. Thus step by step the
drinking classes are making for sim
plicity. The decllno of the cherry and
ollvo In cocktails has probably been
brought about by tho growing pop
ularity of tho Bronx cocktail. As
this Is trapped with a slice of orajge
thcro is no necessity for additional
fruit.
Anyhow, you could not seo a cher
ry In a Bronx cocktail unless it was
a large cherry.

NEW YORK. Dec. 17. Original
explanations of still moro novel sit
uations which spoiled tho domestic
bliss of Broker Charles J. Danne

separate maintenance, MrB. Danne-
baum told of tho discovery of a I we
letter in her husband's pocket which
ho explained as being a "buslnuss
lotter In code." "Dearest" ami
"Peachle" and Blmllar names wero
supposed to refer to such nnxalc
matters as coffee trades and ral'r. ad
rebates tho husband being a cof
fee salesman and broker.
